I needed a work truck to deliver new campers and my buddy has like 2 million miles on his 92 D350. After a lot of hunting and some luck I found a 92 in great shape.
Had 350k now has 650k in 2 years. 1 injector pump 2 sets of tires (recaps) swapped trans in march old one was getting sloppy swapping converter today rebuilt on made it 150k new ones a billet with a lower stall trying to get mileage up a little more also running propane on it.

i have had my 91.5 for years. my wife and kids always hated the look of it. when my boys need to borrow a vehicle i guess looks dont matter. 
. they was some minor problems on the first gen like the steering joint, rear anti lock in the rear and a few other things but pound for pound the most reliable truck out there.

paid $7k for mine a little over a year ago.
i wanted the cleanest, white w/blue
interior with an auto, dually that i could find.
had to fly to cali from texas, and drive it
back. well worth it. i think i paid a fair
price on it. had 170k miles, and i love it.
everything works perfect. a/c, cruise,
power everything.

i needed a dd and i found her on the side of the road for sale for 4k and it was really clean -the radio not working and speedometer not reading correctly. so i bought it for 3.6k. i didnt know anything about diesels when i bought it, and im still learning
always loved the look of the truck and simplicity. very tough truck cant beat the raw power and fuel mileage. got my truck for $3,800 not a spot of rust. needs paiint and had a broken extened cab window.
